Replacing the head on a gy6-50 and the new gasket has reliefs bent into it...anybody know if the raised portion (which the bulk of the gasket field possesses) should face the cylinder or the head, or does it even matter?

Actually, my replacement is bent just the opposite from yours, but it only fits one way so maybe it's not all too important?

You talking about the shape of the head gasket? All will work as long as the middle hole fits the boar. When tightened it Will flatten anyway. Only problem would be a thicker head gasket wich is rare and used for performance applications. Or a thicker base gasket. Both lower compression due to the lowered displacement by gaskets being thicker and increasing the space I the combustion chamber.
